If possible, I would ask that you entrust to Inorost the task of checking whether the words "system of property" appeared in any foreign newspaper, and if so, whether you could send me that issue.

PROPOSAL TO THE POLITBURO OF THE CC RCP(b) ON M. I. KALININ'S TRIP TO UKRAINE

To Molotov for all members of the Politburo

I request that the Politburo be asked to vote on the following proposal: to send Comrade Kalinin immediately on a tour through the most grain-rich provinces of Ukraine for collecting aid for the starving. Equip his expedition with exceptional thoroughness for successful agitation for collections through photographs, films, the presentation of witnesses from the starving regions, etc. Place responsibility for the practical business organization of the entire expedition personally:

1. on Kalinin from the political side
2. on a specially appointed and confirmed by the Politburo comrade of practical experience, who would be able to truly carry out and organize this matter as it should be done.

Obligate Kalinin and his entire expedition to depart no later than 3 days from now.

PROPOSAL TO THE POLITBURO OF THE CC RCP(b)

To Comrade Molotov for all members of the Politburo

I think that "Non-Party" in today's issue of *Pravda* develops a fully correct and timely plan.

I propose creating a commission for its immediate elaboration and quickest implementation, roughly with the following composition: Molotov (with the right of replacement by someone else as appointed by the CC Secretariat or Orgburo), then Yakovenko, Teodorovich, and this very "Non-Party" person.
